Unbelievable, Mike. This wind turbine mania has a lot to answer for.

Calling this thread full of "whinge and moan" is insulting to Miked who, before your time, organised a trip round a power station for OOf members.

By the way, I'm still working there.  If there is an interest, you could all ( well most ) of you have another look round.  Its changed somewhat and is a bit of a building site at the moment.

"General Posting
Keep posts relevant, short, and on topic, especially on Help threads, and meeting organisation threads.  General Chat is the only area where we expect things will go off at a tangent!"

So I cannot see any reason for being apologetic about this thread topic until this is specific about what is and is not to be censored allowed.

Hmmmmm let me think  Newbies can post what they like until someone tells them about what is not specified as allowed. Perhaps I need an alias account as well 

And all this Glastonbury being green b locks is just the broadcaster ensuring it meets it's quota on ensuring government policy is seen to be goooood

Witter and waffle all you like, but ffs cheer up, misery guts. Some people do not need to become a 'legend in their own......mind'. But I suppose posting 332 posts in 22 days would NOT involve any 'witter or waffle'...

Unbelievable, Mike. This wind turbine mania has a lot to answer for. 

(Reuters) - Britain's risk of electricity blackouts by 2015 is more serious than previously thought, regulator Ofgem warned on Thursday.

The country's spare electricity supply margin could fall as low as 2 percent in 2015/16, down from around 14 percent currently.

Last year Ofgem gave an estimate of 4 percent.


couple that with non thermal renewables coming online, we all need to start sourcing some reasonable gen sets.  Has anyone got any recomendations???

Good place to start Machine Mart Also saw a 3KVA Petrol at Costco  for £390, good price. Dont forget to save your/get old car batteries so you can wire up for 12v. Any other "prepper" advice you will have to PM me
